Issue Position: Building a Green Economy

Issue Position

Nevada is rich in renewable resources that remain underutilized. Our endless sunny days, expansive geothermal resources, and powerful wind capacity make the race to being the Nation's leader in renewable-energy production a race that is Nevada's to lose. Investing in a new green economy will not only ensure that we leave this State, and our planet, in a better shape than we found it, but it will put Nevadans back to work. While recent strides have been made, there is so much more we can do.

Once elected, I will work to enact legislation that will enable businesses currently engaged in energy development in our State do so better and more efficiently. I will also work to attract new businesses interested in our natural resources -- businesses that hire Nevadans and invest in our State. We can benefit from the energy-development industry, but we must first position ourselves for this benefit. I will work to do that.
